Accelerating Pathways to Careers: For Adult Learners
Jobs for the Future
This brief highlights examples of career pathway models funded by TAACCCT [Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training] that were designed for adult students who require accelerated timelines because they are often under pressure to enter or reenter the workforce quickly to support their families. In each of the cases chosen, the models went on to be scaled up on a state or national level, or were recognized by third parties as potential models for future replication.
